    that was excellent. definitely the best live vocal i’ve ever heard from him. the instrumentation was beautiful as well. i usually take pause to the falsetto on the chorus but it worked here.

  4. Anthony September 16, 2012

    I wanna know if John Mayer tried to get on with Frank Ocean..they say John Mayer likes to be had!! I would have John Mayer

    • lol September 16, 2012

      it’s numb nuts like you they f*** up the fun… John Mayer Im sure is straight … Frank is bi or atleast a straight guy that had experience and isn’t ashamed to say it . that took Balls.com

    • mobwife September 16, 2012

      LOL, John is trying to get in where he fits in at this point. 🙂

  5. JER September 16, 2012

    Is this the same boring song he bombed on the VMA’s? Either way it was a lifeless, boring snoozefest.

    • lol September 16, 2012

      weird you say that cause every critique who commented on the vma’s gave him rave reviews even Gaga said he stole the show… the most viewers watched during his performance and twitted the most during his performance … his music rose in sales by 50% after that performance .. alot of your favs cant say the same ..

      • mobwife September 16, 2012

        LMAO, really?

        Who gives a rats ass what the “critics” and “Man Caca” – the new champion of the gay community – have to say? The “Pyramids’ performance on SNL was EXCELLENT but that MTV VMA performance sucked ass! And I don’t care which lying media critic reported otherwise. We all know why all of a sudden Frank Ocean is the new kang of R&B so lets stop fronting and playing games!

    Pause.

    • lol September 16, 2012

      lame

    • mobwife September 16, 2012

      LOL, Xibit is that you? 🙂

  7. Honey CHILD please September 16, 2012

    Oh boy this man has no personality. He is just so overrated, and he can’t sing a lick. Ugh please when this Fagalous time be up???

    • dee September 16, 2012

      He is good but not great. I agree that he is a bit overrated. However, I dont agree that he cant sing at all. Check out on youtube his rendtiion of Lauryn Hill’s Tell Him. He actually sounds good.

      • lol September 16, 2012

        You must have c** in your eyes and ears…he sounded great …eat s***

    • mobwife September 16, 2012

      🙂

  8. XoMoDe September 16, 2012

    Miguel is way better than this penis sucker.

    • lol September 16, 2012

      Rumors have been goin on forever miguel may be …I won’t even say it…anyway Many people still prefer Frank music over Miguel it may be because the world already has one Prince we don’t need another rip off act. Miguel is talented but fact remains that his songs all sound like they were recorded with Miguel playing Prince old tunes in the background #originality

    • mobwife September 16, 2012

      I like Miguel much better! Altough, I think he and Ocean bring a retro feel to modern R&B which is cool!

  9. Honey CHILD please September 16, 2012

    Oh great a womanizer, and a f** what a happy marriage

    • lol September 16, 2012

      and nobody at home hatin…two a company ,threes a crowd

    • Common Sense September 16, 2012

      Says the pre-op t*****?

  10. SBC19 September 16, 2012

    I don’t condone it.

  11. Hilly September 16, 2012

    Amazing, and John Mayer was great too

  12. lol September 16, 2012

    Frank Slayed once again!!! Thinkin bout You was relaxed and controlled vocal…Loved it.

    Pyramids was boastful with slick rick swagger and reminiscent of 90’s storytelling , while your favs sound like whiny prepubescent boys every time they sing live Frank had bass in his voice something that is missing in a LOT of modern rnb and pop male singers. Oh John Mayer killed it as well !!! He deserved a guest spot.

    I believe Pyramids video should be dropping soon…it should be really philosophical and tastefully down from the screen shots I’ve seen

    It’s Channel Orange out this b****!! . #FrankisonaWave!!!

  13. MC September 16, 2012

    He is talented, but gosh he is so boring….even that photo of him is boring…..talented nonetheless

    • mobwife September 16, 2012

      Come now, I see you are a MJ fan. You are just accustom to the best in entertainment….LOL 🙂

      Frabk Ocean is the Black, Gay or Bi Male version of Adele!

  14. JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) September 16, 2012

    Wow so much better than the VMA´s performance. So much better
    Thinkin about you was so beautiful in here. Loved it

  15. Belladonna September 16, 2012

    This was amazing loved it! His Setup at the VMAs looked better but his voice here sound better and pyramids was really good. I really hope he performs Forrest Gump that’s my s***!lol his album is going up the Charts! Yeah!lol #He’s Doing so well for himself.

  16. mobwife September 16, 2012

    Stop it, Ocean’s performance on the VMAs was less than stellar! However, this SNL performance of ‘Pyramids’ WAS VERY GOOD!! 🙂 And John Mayer showed the hell out!I loved his solo piece at the end.

    **I did however, cringe everytime he sang about “HER” and “her panties and 6-inch heels” then he was “pimping”!
